Assess your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes based on key health and lifestyle factors.
Diabetes risk is calculated by summing points from factors including age, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, diet, blood pressure medication, family history, and previous high blood sugar. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Normal fasting blood sugar is below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Prediabetes is 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L). Diabetes is diagnosed at 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests.
Yes. Studies show that lifestyle changes — maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly (150 min/week), eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking — can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58%.
